Andreas Schmid (*1955), 飛白 — fei bai — Überflogenes Weiß, 2018, ink on paper, 30 × 20 cm

Artist Workshop

Cliffs like ‘flying white’ —
trees like seal script

22. April 2018

Location:

Hegenbarth Sammlung Berlin
Nürnberger Straße 49
10789 Berlin

Who hasn’t at some point had the urge to hold an ink brush in their hand?

In the artist workshop with Andreas Schmid you can do that and more: immerse yourself in ink, concentration, correct posture and glide across the paper. Follow the trail of ink: fulminant black, washed-out grey, raggedly irregular, flowing into white – the “flying white” 飛白 (Fei Bai), that lends its name to this current exhibition in the Hegenbarth Collection is only one of various possibilities.

After a practical tutorial, participants proceed to experiment with the use of the brush. Viewing the exhibited works and learning about the origins and systematics of Chinese pictographic round off the practical experience.


 

Workshop fee,  20 € / person.
